Good Words for Beer.
From the Saturday Review.


Let US once more repeat the admira-
BILE words OF Boorde, BARLEY malt
maketh better ale than oaten malt,
or any other corn doth; it doth en-
gender gross humors, yet it maketh a
man strong" 1t would be impossible
to SUM up the merits and demerits OF
beer better than in this phrase. Moth
ing has been said for it in these later
days which is not in one way or other
reducibleto to this. 1t does engender gross
humors, which the strong, whether
quite idle ROUTE bodily hard working
can afford to contemn; which the weak
fear and flee, which any man, perhaps,
by using g. lust regimen and taking
plenty of exercise can conquer. But
vet it maketh a man strong-strong
and solid of wit, OF sinews, OF nerves,
of temper, as hardly any other food
or drink shall make him. All the wine
drinking people have always had the
better of the water. drinking; all the
beer drinking people (who have had
the wit to drink what good wine they
could get likewise) have had the bet
ter OF the merely wine-drinking.
Those who say that beer is not poet
ical forget that the magnificent poetry
OF the Scandinavian races sprang from
beer. Let us, therefore, for all its
good humors, cherish beer, and re-
member that the one people who were
too much for the 10000 themselves,
were the beer-drinking Carduchians.

Hints to SermOnizers.
From the Christian at Work.


young men put far too much into
their sermons" remarked q popular
clergyman. az have made six sermons
out OF the first one ever preached"
Probably there are too many variant
themes in many sermons; and it is in
this way that there may be "too much"
in a sermon. Sometimes the habit
grows with the minister's growth, and
becomes part of his every fibre and
tissue. The late venerated DR.. WEIGH,
of Albany, was one of these. After
getting off his tweltthly and thirteenth
ly, he would have his "finallv" and
"lastly," and "to conclude" and
when apparently finishing Off with
sort of plagial cadence he would say
land now, brethren, another point :"
and then the rustling OF the audience
was sound to hear as the tired faces
OF his hearers we're a sight to see. DIR.
Welch attempted too much; instead
OF contenting himself with a sermon,
he attempted the complete essay linn
tied to the compass OF D. asmallvolume.
AS rule sermons should be written
as good as editorials are, having in
view one or two or possibly more
points to press home, and having done
that, come to a finish. 1t doesn't fol-
low that because more can be said,
therefore, more ought to be said. A
remembrance OF this fact might be of
service not alone to sermoniZers, but
other writer's and speakers as we'll.

THEIR DEAD TNBTRIED.
Strange Conduct of a Wealthy Family
New BrunSwick N Il

Strange Conduct of Wealthy Family in
New Brunswick, j.
New BRUNSWICK, N. j., March 10
The Denmead family have for years
furnished gossip for the people of New
Brunswick. Eccentric and wealthy
yet living in squalor, in q wretched
hovel underground, they have furn-
ished material for many newspaper
story. For the pasc two months
rumors relative to the condition OF
Mrs. Samuel Denmead have been fly
ing about. 1t b=ing utterly impossi-
BILE to secure entrance to the hovel
owing to the fierce conduct OF Samuel
until to-day, when an entrance was
forced by officers, in spite OF the op-
position of John Denmesd.
AS the door opened a f,ightful stencil
assailed the nostrils OF the party.
John Denmead, seeing that resistance
was useless, procured a light and led
the way into rear room, where, upon
the came bed, lay the dead bodies OF
Cornelia and Robert Denmead, hor-
ribly decomposed. When asked why
the fact of his relatives death had
not been made known, John Denmead
said eve were afraid they wou d be
taken away from u.s." Officers we're
placed on guard at the hovel and John
and Samuel Denmead were taken into
custody.
John says that they both died five
weeks ago and that he wanted to have
them buried, and out of the way, but
Samuel would not listen to it. When
Samuel was taken into the wash room
OF the jail to be given a bath he fought
like tiger.

The Origin of an Old Custom

The custom of throwing one or more
old shoes after the bride and groom
either when they 60 to church to be
married or when they start on their
wedding Journey is so old that the
memory of man stretches not back to
it's beginning. Some think it repre-
sents an assault, and is q lingering
trace of the custom among savage
nations of carrying away the bride by
violence. Others think that it is a
relic of the ancient law of exchange
and purchase, and that it formerly
implied the surrender by the parents
of all dominion or authority over
their daughter. 1t has a likeness to a
Jewish custom mentioned in the Bible,
the American Register suggests. Thus
in Deuteronomy we read that when
the brother OF a dead man refused to
marry his widow she asserted her in
dependence of him by "loosing his
shoe" Also in Ruth, when the kins-
man of Boaz gave up his claim to the
Inheritance OF Ruth and to Ruth also,
he indicated his assent by plucking off
his shoe and giving it to Boaz. 1t
was also the custom OF the middle
ages to place the husbands shoe on
the head of the nuptial couch in token
of his domination.

NEW YORK, March ga few minutes
after Z O'Clock this L orning AN acci-
dent occurred on the >wn town track
of the Third Avenue ele -ated railroad
at the Fourteenth st eet station,
which resulted in tA2 cath of three
men, and the wounding of seven. A
fire occurred at the tailoring estab-
lishment of Nicoll, the tailor on the
Bowery near Houston Street. The
elevated trains on the down track
were blockaded from Ninth Street up
as far as Fifty-second Street. All the
trains were crowded with people on
their way to work. Alongside the
track is q small platform leading from
the stations and used by the employees.
When the z O'Clock train came to g.
standstill between Fourteenth
and Seventeenth Streets a
man named Patrick Matthews, of At
East Fourth Street, who was
standing on the platform OF the third
car, opened the gate and got out on
the narrow platform. He started to
walk to the Fourteenth Street STA
ton, and was followed by a number
OF men who were anxious to get to
their work. When within fifteen feet
of the station, the train started.
Matthews was panic-stricken, and,
supposing he was going to fall OF the
platform to the street below, he
clutched hold of the man who was
standing beside him, and they both
fell to the ground and were instantly
killed. The other men became panic
stricken and jumped into the street.
The greatest excitement spread among
the passengers, and it was as much as
the train hands could do to keep
them in the cars and to prevent them
from jumping from the train. A
rumor was circulated that collision
had occurred. The women in the cars
screamed and tainted. They were in
midair, and no restoratives could be
procured. At last the train was
brought to the station, and most of
the passengers got off and took the
surface cars down town.
1t was nearly 8 O'Clock before the
blockade was lifted and the trains run
on regular time. The distance which
the men fell was about 20 feet. A
policeman was standing on the corner
at the time, and as soon as he saw
what had occurred he sent in ambu-
lance calls. In FIVE minutes there were
six ambulances at Fourteenth Street.
The dying and wounded were taken
Immediately to New York, Bellevue,
and st. Vincent's Hospitals. Hun
dreds OF people gathered around the
scene of the accident. Capt. Clinchy
was on hand with squad OF 12 men
and kept the crowd back. The side
walk and street were covered with
blood.
The killed were Patrick Matthew'S;
an unknown man about so years OF
age; the third man was also unknown.
The wounded are: George Mccartney,
injured hip and back; Robert Shoe.
maker, back and leg; William Ken
nedy, back and side; James Lyon,
arms, back, and head; Jose Girandin,
injured in back and ribs and general
contusions; Emil Weller, injured head,
back. and side.

IND THIS STRIKE FAILS.

All the Michigan Laborers Except the
Chief Agitators Return to Work.
MARQUETTE, Mich, March 13.-The
strike OF laborers on the Sault branch,
which began last Wendsday noon,
terminated to-day. About fifty OF
the leaders and more troublesome
strikers were ordered out of the camp
and obeyed. All others, together
with the new men, begin work to-mor
row at the old wages. The strike
failed completely. The presence of
the sheriff's posse of armed men and
the determined front of the contrac-
tors overawed the hot-headed, who
wisely withdrew and bloodshed was
avoided. All is quiet tonight. The
worst wind storm known here for
years prevailed during the day, but
there was no snow.
